“The best part: the PS4 journey has just begun. In addition to an incredible line-up of PS4 games from the best developers in the world, we will continue to introduce valuable new features and services to PS4 in the months and years ahead.”
“While PS4′s capabilities will continue to evolve, our commitment to gamers and breakthrough entertainment remains steadfast. We believe that videogames represent the pinnacle of artistry and entertainment, and we will work tirelessly to make sure that PlayStation remains the best place to play.
Thank you for your passion and your support – we couldn’t have done this without you.”
These figures come after the PlayStation 4 sold over 1 million consoles in 24 hours during its November 15 launch in North America. Alongside the announcement that the PlayStation 4 became the fastest selling console ever in the UK, moving over 250,000 consoles to consumers.
